When u first enter a new college u don’t know how many
friends are u going to make? How are u going to make, in first place? Or how
long is it going to last? Same questions I had in my mind when I first came to
PiCA.

First few months went by wondering about the same. Then I saw this group of
people sitting and playing truth and dare, I guess. I too joined it. There was
a guy sitting right by my side, cheering up every person who got the bottle
pointing towards them. To be frank, I got this sudden liking towards that guy,
by the way he was making everyone comfortable with each other. Yes Mahesh
Karande, I’m talking about you. :P

I had no idea we were going to be this great friends that
time. Obviously we had fights in the end of first year (really immature one, I
still laugh thinking about that). But c’mon which great friendship didn’t have
problems. I still remember you calling me at the end of my birthday, but still
giving me the best surprise. You played that stupid song on phone and sang one
too.

People might have all sorts of wrong ideas about you, your
attitude… But I know what a great friend you are, what all you have gone
through. I respect all that.

When we were two three months through the first year, a new
girl came to our class. Shy, little chubby and short, really quiet. I still
remember she used to sit on the other end of the class. She never used to talk
much, did all submissions on time (nerd :P). Slowly, she started talking to all
of us (P.S.: we all know how :D ). Then came the first year tour, which was the
time we both came become good friends (thanks to that stupid puncture
incident). Really Kritika Iyer, if u wouldn’t have been there that evening, I
would have cried like a baby.

Oo now it’s your turn miss Enid Gomez.

At that time I never thought, u will be one of my closest
pals. Now I know the real you, and let me tell you that I love you for being
who you are. The people who still think u are one heck of a rude person, I pity
them. When I look at u, all I can think is “Damn, how someone can be so
creative.” You are one heck of an all rounder baby. Be it studies, baking, art,
sports, performing arts… Is there anything u cannot do?

Well moving on, to Avishkar Bharati. My bestie out of all.

To understand him perfectly, you have to be real good
friends with him. If u see him from a distance all you can see is lazy,
careless, good-for-nothing bum. But you would be blown away once you see that
hidden talent in this guy. There are some people who never open their mouth
ever, but their work speaks for them. He’s one of them.

MK, Kitika, Ena and Avi, you people are the whole and sole
reason I like my college life or are the reason I like my college. No

matter
whatever opinions people might have about our friendship, but I know you four
people are the best people I could ever have in my life (sorry, got little
emotional).
